RICHARD HENKMANN, OF BERLIN, GERMANY.

BOTTLE-STOPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,832, dated March 5, 1889.

Serial No. 288,192. No model.)

To all whom it may concern.: i

Be it known that I, RICHARD HENKMANN, a l subject of the King of Prussia, in the German l Empire, and a resident of the city of Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have invented cert-ain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Stoppers, of which the following is a specification.

The principal and novel feature of this invention consists in the arrangement of an eccentric disk serving as stopping-plate, and which by means ot a concentric guide either opens or shuts the mouth of the bottle.

In the accompanying' drawings, Figure l is a Vertical section of the stopping apparatus fixed to the neck of the bottle when opened; Fig. 2,a top View of plate a,with stopping plat-e d in place when open; Fig. 3, the same when shut; Fig. 4, the lid as seen from within.

As will be seen from the drawings, the shutl ting apparatus consists of a lid, g, Fig. with pin t', the sieve-like openings m, and the flange h, and of a plate, a, with flange o and pin f. In the middle ot plate a there is an opening, o. To this plate is fixed, turning around the i pin f, an eccentric stopping-plate, d,with a slot,

e, and an opening, n, in such a manner that when opened, Fig. 9, the opening o in plate a and the sieve-like opening m in lid g communicate with opening a in stopping-plate d. The inner side of flange l) provided with a l worm, by which plate a is screwed onto box i e., xed on bottle-neck 7, and likewise provided l with a worm. l The apparatus is worked in the following l manner: Having secured plate a with its l flange h on box c of bottle-neck Z, the lid g, with its flange 72 is placed like a capsule on l flange o of plate a, so that its pin L' fits into slot e of stopping-plate d, and that its llange h lies loosely and capable of being turned on the outside of llange b. To prevent the lid g from falling oit in case the bottle is capsized or from being unintentionally taken oit', there are screws k catching below flange l) without l pre\f'enting the rotation of the lid g.

p Fig. l shows the stopping appara-tus on the l bottle in its opened state, so that openings o, n, and m lie one upon another and allow liquid to be poured out.

In order to shut the bottle, the lid g must be turned in the direction of the arrow B, Fig. 2. The pin 1f in the slot e takes the stoppingplate CZ rotating on f along with it when the lid is being turned, the opening n of the stopping-plate d is placed as seen in Fig. 3, and plate d closely shuts opening o, thus producing a hermetical shutting of the bottle. By turning the lid in an opposite direction, A, Fig. 3, the bottle is opened by opening n again appearing above opening o, Figs. 1 and Q.

I claim- A bottle-stopper Consisting of a plate, a., having' the opening o and pivoted eccentrically thereon, t-he plate d, having the opening n and the eccentric slot e, and the lid g, having the pini and turning concentricallT on plate a, as and for the purposes herein shown and set forth.

Signed at Berlin, in the Kingdom of Prussia, this 25th day of September, A. D. 1888.

RICHARD IIEKMAN.
